Mistakes and accidents are unavoidable. They're part of our lives. But don't worry, this isn't an insurance ad. It's a piece on the subreddit That Looked Expensive.’

It's an online community, where people share photos, gifs, and videos of mistakes, accidents, catastrophes, and disasters that cost a small fortune.

We're talking a supercar storage catching fire, children knocking over a $70K sculpture, and many more hilarious, er, I mean, costly mishaps. Continue scrolling to check them out and take a look at Bored Panda's earlier article on the subreddit after you're done, too!

Looks bad because the front axle has detached, but that will repair, particularly if the car is sufficiently valuable, insurance will pay. Just makes me want to cry though.

Most supercars seem to be owned by people who underestimate what happens when they floor it, especially with cold tyres.

It’s amazing how fragile those things are I have seen one lose four lanes of traffic and end up shredded on the shoulder of the road when it got hit on the side with a big gust of wind.

I'm guessing some power-mad manager demanded this against the reservations of the people who worked there. "People hardly ever buy those, put them up on the top shelf."
